Reviews

`Fight Like a Girl is full of inspiration and aspiration for women everywhere' * Stylist Magazine Online * `There are the usual suspects... But it's the more unusual choices - like Wilma Mankiller, activist and chief of the Cherokee Nation, lawyer Anita Hill, who testified in 1991 against Conservative Supreme Court nominee (now justice) Clarence Thomas, and Japanese avant-grade artist Yayoi Kusama - that make this book a real gem' * Stylist Magazine Online * `The feminist history book everyone should read. . . Way cooler than any history book...' * Metro US * `[C]oncise but eloquent... [A] wide-ranging tribute to trailblazing women.' * Publishers Weekly US *
